Whew, glad you clarified that you hate him. I was about to make all kinds of assumptions about you based on your entertainment by a single phrase he uttered.
REAL close call there, bud. Real close.

Wow, I expected better from their social media team. This is a horrible effort by Deadspin. Especially when they could have replied with these.
I’m legitimately embarrassed for Deadspin

I love it when lazy reporting gets outed, it’s not like he played for some obscure unknown school. Really 20 mins of research would have been all that’s needed, hell I bet an email to his press office would have gotten a picture.

They did something similar with Donald Trump a while back

Of course, Ted Cruz isn’t Donald Trump.

Yeah. No idea who’s running the DS twitter account, but Feinberg jumped in from her own Twitter and
got defensive
. It does not appear to be going well...

The joke has been around for far, far longer than a day. I’m sure people often ask Ted Cruz about the resemblance.
"Flavien Vidal" (flyingfrenchy)
01/24/2017 at 20:45, STARS: 1
Well, in that case he quoted them out of the blue, thanking them for their work... It’s borderline abusive, but understandable and somewhat deserved. But you ask for a picture of Cruz, he gives it to you himself... Just man-up and accept you’ve been schooled.

Donald Trump also has a thin skin and wants New Yorkers to accept him. Ted doesn’t have those issues.

They should just hire Ted to run the account.

Nah, that place is full of liberal bias as much as Fox News is full of conservative bias. They may think alike, but that doesn’t always mean there are great minds.
"Flavien Vidal" (flyingfrenchy)
01/24/2017 at 21:32, STARS: 3
Yeah... I find their reaction extremely dumb. I’m as liberal as one can get (even worse, I’m french!) but that is a great example of a a libtard actually is.

She’s admitting now that she got owned. I guess she has some chill after all. And having chill is the best remedy for when you’ve been delivered a burn.

Univision fucked up by not firing every worthless piece of trash who wrote for gawker.com. They just moved them around so Nolan and Feinberg could ruin Deadspin and Hongo could trash Gizmodo.
Seriously, all Gawker ever did was demonstrate what you’d get if you told a bunch of high schoolers to start a “news” site about anything the feel matters. And they all have enormous egos as if they’re all Really Goddamn Important.

Gawker has heard of these things called “research” and “fact checking,” and decided they want nothing to do with them.

You’re right; it’s gone!
IIRC, she responded to Matthew Zeiltin’s Tweet “@ashleyfeinberg you’re getting owned so hard I feel sorry for you” by replying “no I’m not.” This all happened shortly after Ted Cruz’s “boy, that escalated quickly” GIF.

Ted Cruz attended Princeton and Harvard. That’s not him in the pic he responded with. It was just a joke.
This isn’t an instance of lazy reporting...just sour grapes on DS’s part.
Edit: I get I’m way late to the party here...it’s what I get for not Oppoing at night.

Ted doesn’t want New Yorkers to accept him. He wants to pretend that civilization doesn’t exist.
